Unlike synthetic oud compositions that rely on heavy woody aromachemicals, this perfume pairs real botanical depth with tart citrus top notes. It projects with noticeable weight during cool fall evenings and crisp spring days. Wearers who enjoy dark resinous woods balanced by fruit shisha vibes will find this a compelling option for formal gatherings. Show less
